Seminar on Thermal Spray Coating Processes and Applications
Professor Javad Mostaghimi Founding Director Centre for Advanced Coating Technologies, University of Toronto This seminar will be chaired by A/P Fei Duan. |
| Seminar Abstract |
Thermal spray coating technology is a critical surface engineering process that involves the application of protective or functional coatings to a substrate. This technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness of components across many industries, e.g., aerospace. Its ability to provide tailored solutions and contribute to sustainability makes it an indispensable tool in modern engineering and manufacturing. This seminar describes some of the research and development activities at the Centre for Advanced Coating Technologies. A comprehensive model of thermal spray process will be described. Development of highly efficient DC and RF plasma torches for thermal spray applications will be presented. |
